Lexus is looking to ease the familiar stresses of driving with a new version of its NX mid-size luxury SUV that’s designed to promote more peaceful, confident and fulfilling journeys, whether moving around town or getting closer to nature on roads less travelled.

The Overtrail grade is not a rugged off-roader but an interpretation of the NX that projects a purposeful, premium image with dedicated styling details and enhancements to ensure smooth progress when you want to get away from it all on rural roads. 

The NX’s Lexus Next Chapter design is given a new perspective with raised suspension and the fitting of new-design 18-inch alloy wheels with chunky all-terrain tyres. There is a uniform black finish for the door mirror casings, door handles, wheel arch mouldings and roof rails, metallic black window mouldings and matt black wheels. The spindle grille gains extra emphasis with a bright metallic machined frame and mesh.

These details strike a smart contrast with the new Moon Desert paint finish, a sandy metallic shade that is exclusive to the Overtrail grade (six other colours are available).  In a distinctive touch, the LEXUS name on the back door is rendered in grey.

There is an exclusive look for the interior as well, with front sport seats upholstered in Black synthetic leather with body-holding bolsters in Khaki. The door cards and the centre console storage box are also finished in matching Khaki, with new Geo Layer trim inserts inspired by the patterns of natural rock strata.

Raising the suspension by 15 mm increases the vehicle’s overall height to 1,675 mm, increasing ground clearance and giving the driver a commanding view of their surroundings. Similarly, ground clearance has risen to 200 mm, so the Overtrail grade can take rougher roads in its stride. Dynamic performance has been further enhanced with additional rear bracing.

True to its welcoming spirit of Omotenashi, Lexus equips the NX Overtrail grade with features that make life on board, comfortable, relaxing and restorative. For example, the air conditioning system uses advanced nanoe-X air quality technology, feeding trillions of minuscule water molecules into the air conditioning system. This has the proven effect of combating bacteria, viruses, mould and bad odours, while also helping refresh human hair and skin with a moisturising effect.

The cabin environment can also foster personal wellbeing with its ambient lighting system. This provides gentle, indirect illumination in the footwells, door panels and centre consoles, with 64 different colours to choose from. Among these, 14 have been curated by Lexus to reflect different moods inspired by nature.

The new Overtrail grade is available with all NX powertrains in Europe: the NX 350h hybrid, NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid and NX 350 petrol.
